The Dilemma of Accounting in Filipino

The Dilemma of Accounting in Filipino

ACCOUNTANTS (Pagtutuos), TAKE NOTE!!!

A Bill filed by Sen. Lito Lapid asks that proposed laws should be written in Filipino (Pilipino). Likewise, the official spoken language in the Senate should be Filipino.. But I doubt this Bill will see the light of day. Read on to know why.

Ang Paggamit ng Wikang Pilipino

A young, good-looking representative from Laguna sponsored a Bill recommending the Filipino language be used in all levels of accounting firms and banking institutions. The solon claimed it will provide a better understanding of the business transactions for those who are inexperienced and non-English speaking citizens.

The Bill received unanimous approval from the House and was presented to the President for signature to become the law of the land. But, in spite of the overwhelming pressure from the members of Congress, the President vetoed the bill...

WHY?
She explained that when the English "business" words are translated in Tagalog, they sound very malicious (malaswa) and are "nakaka-hiya at Nakaka-kilabot"!

Here are a few sample words - English to Filipino
Asset - Ari
Fixed Asset - Nakatirik na Ari
Liquid Asset - Basang Ari
Solid Asset - Matigas na Ari
Owned Asset - Sariling Pag-aari
Other Asset - Ari ng Iba
Miscellaneous Asset - Iba't-ibang klaseng Ari
Asset Write-Off - Pinutol na Pag-a ari
Depreciation of Asset - Laspag na Pag-aari
Fully Depreciated Asset - Laspag na laspag na Pag-aari
Earning Asset - Tumutubong Pag-aari
Working Asset - Ganado pa ang Ari
Non-Earning Asset - Baldado na ang Ari
Erroneous Entry - Mali ang Pagka-Pasok
Double Entry - Dalawang Beses Ipinasok
Multiple Entry - Labas Pasok nang Labas Pasok
Correcting Entry - Itinama ang Pag Pasok
Reversing Entry - Baligtad ang Pagka Kapasok
Dead Asset - Patay na ang ARI

A couple of days ago, an embarrasing scene was played on TV when a flip general was carried on someone else shoulder so he wouldnt get wet when he stepped on a banka boat . the american officer on the other hand waded on the water and stepped on the banka without any help. See the symbolism on why the philippines have problems ?

I think the Filipino General should be fired. How could he win the war against the Abu Sayaf? Eh, tubig lang takot na siya. Nakakahiya!! . . .(Daw. . . . OWWwwwwwww. . . . )

Lalong nakakahiya doon sa Kano na kasunod niya.
he he he he he he he he (Hindi nga nahiya ehhhhh!!!)

BAGONG PEDICURE SIGURO SI SIR! ! . . . . este si General Problem. . .(Hay! type ko rin magpapedicure sa mga Abu Sayyaf). . .

Send this to all your friends and hopefully this will circulate back to the Philippines . . . .

FERRY RIDE ALONG ILOG PASIG

Mention riding a ferry along the Pasig River to most people, and you will almost always be met with a disgusted look, or a wrinkling of the nose. While the Pasig River has become legendary for its filth, that will not deter us from trying out the Pasig River Ferry, because the experience will not be as bad as one would expect. I decided to go on a Sunday, starting off at the Guadalupe station, which was just a few meters away from the MRT's own Guadalupe stop. Upon entering the ferry station, I was greeted by a rather clean, tiny structure--quite a contrast against the murky river. Tiles were new and clean, the waiting area was airconditioned, and everyone--from the security guard to the ticket seller--was friendly and courteous. It also had facilities for the handicapped, which makes this mode of transportation a good option than other commuting facilities. I purchased a ticket for P25, and found the ticket quite fancy. Printed on thermal paper, it looked like a receipt printed with a barcode, and you have to just swipe it over the sensor of the turnstile to enter the platform. Unfortunately, the tickets are coll ected before you board the ferry, so there are no chances of keeping it as a souvenir.

Most of you will be delighted to know that the ferry is airconditioned, which means you don't have to worry about the stench of the river. The twin-engine catamaran-type ferry employs blue plastic seats that are comfortable enough for the 50-minute ride to Escolta. It's been said that the ferry can accommodate 150 passengers at a time. A uniformed guard from the Presidential Security Group (PSG) is also on board, because the ferry passes by Malacanang Palace (there lives the president of the Philippines).

Escolta station If you're worried that the boat ride might get boring, you'd be wrong. The ferry is equipped with a flat-screen TV that shows music videos of Air Supply, or some videoke tracks that you can sing along to while on board.

And if that isn't your type of entertainment, the view along the route is actually pretty interesting. I will not fool you into thinking that it was grand or awesome or breathtaking, because it really wasn't. The river could really use a good cleaning, but the view along the riverbank is something you don't see every day.

Manila Post Office It gives you a different view on things. The houses that you don't normally see when your bus is hurtling past EDSA, the naked children swimming in the river who think nothing of the filthy flotsam on the waters, and the rusty barges that float alongside you on the river. It's not a glorious sight, but it's still a fresh perspective. Plus, the ride is so much calmer, especially compared to getting shaken around as your car criss-crosses its way to beat the traffic along busy Guadalupe.

Abandoned warehouses Truth be told, I see a lot of potential in this ferry. The ferry itself is great--it's airconditioned, it's clean, and it's quite fast. I was disembarking at Escolta after about 45-50 minutes. It's a great alternative to commuting by land or rail--especially when you think about the buses with drivers that seem to believe they're driving Kia Prides, or the number of people you have to fight off just to get precious space on the train. To date, there are six stations up and running: Guadalupe, Hulo, Lambingan, Sta. Ana, PUP, Lawton and Escolta. They're thinking of adding more stations in Marikina and San Juan to cover more areas.

Hulo station The fare scheme has changed since the opening of the Pasig River Ferry Project. It started out with a flat-rate of P25 (less than $0.60 or > 60c) to and from any destination. Weekends still have the P25 flat-rate, but because there seem to be very few patrons of the ferry plus with the high price of gasoline, fares are now at P25, P35, and P45 on weekdays, depending on the distance. Still the ferry is the fastest way to go places around Metro Manila within the Pasig River area NO TRAFFIC Ferry schedules start at 5:45 AM in Guadalupe, and end at 10:15 PM in Escolta. There are 30-minute intervals between departures. Aside from the novelty, riding the Pasig Ferry actually has a lot of perks. How else can you get to Escolta from Guadalupe in less than an hour? It's also a pretty good alternative if you're lugging plenty of purchases from Divisoria or Tutuban. You no longer need to fight for space on the jeep, or inconvenience other passengers with your packages. It's a great way to rest your tired feet after a long day of walking around Binondo. So next time you're thinking of a different way to travel, try out the Pasig Ferry.

Why Is The Philippines Poor?

Dear Friends,

Here is a good article sent by Dr. Arsenio Martin of Fort Arthur , Texas ..
Enjoy reading.

THE DIFFERENCE


The difference between the poor countries and the rich ones is not the age of the country:

This can be shown by countries like India & Egypt , that are more than 2000 years old, but are poor.


On the other hand, Canada , Australia & New Zealand , that 150 years ago were inexpressive, today are developed countries, and are rich.


The difference between poor & rich countries does not reside in the available natural resources.

Japan has a limited territory, 80% mountainous, inadequate for agriculture & cattle raising, but it is the second world economy. The country is like an immense floating factory, importing raw materials from the whole world and exporting manufactured products.

Another example is Switzerland, which does not plant cocoa but has the best chocolate in the world. In its little territory they raise animals and plant the soil during 4 months per year. Not enough, they produce dairy products of the best quality! It is a small country that transmits an image of security, order & labor, which made it the world's strongest, safest place.

Executives from rich countries who communicate with their counterparts in poor countries show that there is no significant intellectual difference.

Race or skin color are also not important: immigrants labeled lazy in their countries of origin are the productive power in rich European countries.

What is the difference then? The difference is the attitude of the people, framed along the years by the education & the culture & flawed tradition.

On analyzing the behavior of the people in rich & developed countries, we find that the great majority follow the following principles in their lives:

1. Ethics, as a basic principle.
2. Integrity.
3. Responsibility.
4. Respect to the laws & rules.
5. Respect to the rights of other citizens.
6. Work loving.
7. Strive for savings & investment.
8. Will of super action.
9. Punctuality.
10. and of course...Discipline

In poor countries, only a minority follow these basic principles in their daily life.

The Philippines is not poor because we lack natural resources or because nature was cruel to us. In fact, we are supposedly rich in natural resources.

We are poor because we lack the correct attitude. We lack the will to comply with and teach these functional principles of rich & developed societies.

If you do not forward this message nothing will happen to you. Your pet will not die, you will not be fired, you will not have bad luck for seven years, and also, you will not get sick or go hungry.

But those may happen because of your lack of discipline & laziness
,
your love for intrigue and politics, your indifference to saving for the future, your stubborn attitude.


If you love your country, let this message circulate so that many Filipinos could reflect about this, & CHANGE, ACT!
